- 28 January 2022, u/victingz, Should I "boost" myself to gold with mage supps ?, last season i got myself to g4 by abusing swain and other mage supps.
- 5 August 2023, u/punksterb, My Dota 2 Defensive Item Alignment Chart, Is there any hero that actually builds blink dagger to specifically blink away from a fight? Mostly its an initiation item. Even supps like Oracle and SD build it more to be able to hide and then jump to save carry afaik. Blink can be used to disengage, but I don't think that's ever the primary explicit goal of the hero building it.
- 19 September 2023, u/sankara123, Are supports really OP?, Nah supps were garbage in S1 unless you have short term memory. Dps were overturned due to the passive and they had to buff a few supps (remember the +5 mercy pistol bullets?) and remove the dps passive because of how strong it was. Although I agree that support is definitely the strongest role now.
